I'm running a calculation in Enercalc with ASCE 7-16 as my reference code, and it's showing the controlling load combination to be 1.20D+L+0.20S+E+1.90H. This is an underground structure so the 1.90H is killing me. I can't find this load combination in ASCE, IBC, ACI, or AISC. Does anyone know...
I'm being told that I can't use a 90 degree bend for a new water main. I've stated that we will use thrust blocking, but I'm required to use 22 1/2's instead to make the turn. Is this just a jurisdictional thing or is it bad design to use a 90 with thrust blocking?
I have a 3D model of a storage shed that I'm designing in SAP2000. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the results I'm getting. The typical section view is a standard frame with a gabled roof (one stud on each side, pitched truss connecting them.) There is a significant wind load acting...
